Diamanda Galás has announced the release of two new albums on 24 March. All The Way will feature reworks of jazz and traditional compositions including BB King's “The Thrill Is Gone“ and a solo piano interpretation of Thelonious Monk’s “Round Midnight” while In Concert At Saint Thomas The Apostle Harlem is a live album taken from her 2016 church performance at the Red Bull Music Academy Festival in New York – a performance that consisted of Galás performing a collection of death songs in Italian, German, French and Greek. The recording also features poems by Cesare Pavese and Ferdinand Freiligrath, and renditions of Jacques Brel’s “Fernand” and “Amsterdam”, and Albert Ayler’s “Angels”.
